It's interesting that how Intel lost its leadership and "state of the art" in chipmaking now belongs to TSMC and to a lesser extent Samsung. Given how aggressively China is trying to invest into it, there's a potential for a future situation where China directly or indirectly controls the means of producing world's most advanced chips and US companies are denied access and can only rely on US-based Intel, which is several generations behind.

If I were US government, I'd be very concerned with this development right now.
